Open AccessFall prediction in neurological gait disorders: differential contributions from clinical assessment, gait analysis, and daily-life mobility monitoring
To evaluate the predictive validity of multimodal clinical assessment outcomes and quantitative measures of in- and off-laboratory mobility for fall-risk estimation in patients with different forms of neurolog...

Clinical and neurophysiological risk factors for falls in patients with bilateral vestibulopathy
Patients with bilateral vestibular failure (BVF) exhibit imbalance when standing and walking that is linked to a higher fall risk. The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors for falls in BVF. We th...

The interrelationship between disease severity, dynamic stability, and falls in cerebellar ataxia
Cerebellar ataxia (CA) results in discoordination of body movements (ataxia), a gait disorder, and falls. All three aspects appear to be obviously interrelated; however, experimental evidence is sparse. This s...

Open AccessOccupational injuries among children and adolescents in Cusco Province: a cross-sectional study
Although the number of child laborers in Latin America is generally high, data on occupational hazards and injuries is insufficient. The objective of this study was therefore to determine the lifetime prevalen...

Increased gait variability is associated with the history of falls in patients with cerebellar ataxia
Falls are common in patients with cerebellar ataxia (CA). Identification of gait variables associated with a higher risk of falls allows us to detect fallers and initiate protective procedures early. Gait vari...
